Okay, ive had an HP, Kodak, and Canon camera in my past. All were low budget decent quality cameras. Canon and Kodak excelled at colors while the HP one actually came free with a printer and did a decent job, although it was nothing spectacular.
This camera on the otherhand, is HORRIBLE. Dont be fooled by all the options that olympus throws in, like the “scene” modes. Most are novelty and some are just horrible. The indoor scene mode makes the shutter speed slow down to a ridiculous degree where you have to sit there and hold the camera motionless for a solid 10 sec after pressing the button just to get a somewhat blurry, oversaturated picture. Also, this camera is NOT compact. It is about 1.5 in thick with the screen folded. Thats actually pretty thick ifyou compare it to other compact cameras on the market now.
The flash: I HATE the flash. Never have I seen a flash that so badly washes out all natural color from a picture. Also, if you put it on “filler” mode, it still comes out as bright and ruins the pictures. Without flash the camera is nothing, it cant focus, it cant capture anything.
The docking cradle: Why in the world did they add this? Its completely useless. Its som sort of bulky docking cradle that you MUST use in order to load pics onto your pc.
Overall, DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA YOU WILL REGRET IT.

Bought this for my wife for a when she went down to assist in the Hurricane Katrina cleanup in Sept. of 2005. Everyone in the family loves this camera. It is small, lightweight, takes very nice pictures and has a huge screen. The battery lasts much longer than many digital cameras I have used.
It is not a pro camera, but it doesn’t cost what a pro camera costs!
Actually, we may buy a second one!

I have owned this camera now for 1 week and it’s amazing!!
The 2.5″ screen makes life ever so simple and the picture quality is first rate.
I am atrue amateur yet this camera set at “auto” does it all and every photo looks top quality.
I like the protection given to the screen and lens when the camera is in the stored made.

When this camera first came out, I was tempted to buy it. Since I already have a Fuji Finepix M603, I recommended the Olympus IR-500 to a few of my friends when J&R.com sold it, brand new for a mere $[...]; I wished I bought it then. After over a year I finally decided to purchase one but, it’s nowhere to be found. I did a hard search on the WWW and checked eBay and Craig’s List regularly until I finally found one for $[...] brand new. I waited because I refused to pay for it over priced.
The IR-500 is a compact 4 megapixel camera that does the job really well. The large 2.5″ LCD swivels 360° to the front, it’s screen protected when not in use. Because of it’s Transformer-like quality it never fails to get a “cool” comment from people who’ve seen me use it. It compliments well with my white iPod and iMac.
The IR-500, the same with my Olympus C-211 Zoom with a built-in printer which by the way is still in a very good working condition, is fun to use. Next on my list, either the Sony Cybershot DSC-G1 or the Canon TX1. I can’t wait.
